Question of the Week - Least Favorite Things

Ethan Frome. I had to read it for school. Took me countess times to get past the first page. Then it took me countless times to get past the first chapter. I just could not get into this story.

Slapstick comedies. Any of them. I just don't find them funny.

Denny's. After an awful experience when the food was just awful for not just me but my entire family. Just about everyone in the restaurant complained to the manager that night and everyone got dessert for free. Still didn't make up for the disgusting food though and I haven't gone back to Denny's since.

I LOVE Ethan Frome. Try reading it on a cold, bleak day when you don't feel like getting dressed. I didn't love the ending - I didn't believe the girl could really fall in love with Ethan. But the last chapter, the thing that happens with his wife is perfection.

Least favorite restaurant? Shari's. The last time I went the food was undercooked and the waitress tried to tell me I was too picky. Undercooked meat is dangerous and thank you, I don't feel like getting food poisoning.

Least Favorite Book: Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini. It was the kind of book that I should have loved, but weird writing choices like head hopping, a weak opening and not sympathizing with the heroine ruined it.

Least Favorite Movie: Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. It has nothing to do with final fantasy -- it's science fiction and it had a crappy ending. A waste of a perfectly good movie ticket.

Least Favorite Restaurant: The Grizzley Grill. My family paid over $200 for all of us to go there and everyone thought their food sucked. Yet again, waste of cash.

I've never heard of Ethan Frome. I've tried reading The House of Night series a couple times, but I can never get past the cheesy vampire coming up to the girl in the first chapter, pointing to her and being like, *cue stupid cheesy voice* "Now you are a vampire." I was like, REALLY? I couldn't do it.

I love to write romances - fantasy, paranormal, time travels, and Regency; for adults and YA. I don't want to get boxed in by genre -- I might be claustrophobic!
I'm also a freelance editor and an editor at MuseItUp Publishing. Additionally, I am also a ghostwriter.
When I'm not writing about girls wanting to be knights, talking unicorns, or zombies, I love spending time with my loving and growing family. I enjoy riding horses (pretending they're unicorns, of course!) and going to the PA Renaissance Faire, dressed in garb.
